Barbecue Seitan

1 cup vital wheat gluten (you can buy this at health food shops or online - the internet is a magical place)

2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast (yeah, you’ll be able to buy this at the same place at the vital wheat gluten)

1 Tablespoon smoked paprika

1 Tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

A good pinch of black pepper

¾ cup vegetable stock

1 Tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon liquid smoke

½ cup barbecue sauce

Directions:

Put all the ingredients (apart from the bbq sauce) in a bowl & mix it together into a ball. Don’t be afraid to get your hands in there & knead it if it’s misbehaving.

Pop the mixture onto a lightly greased oven tray & stretch it into the desired shape - if it’s a little unruly, don’t be surprised.

Pop the dish into the oven and& bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (180°C)

Take the dish out, brush with the barbecue sauce & bake for a further 5 minutes.

Take out the oven, cut into “ribs” and serve with a pot of barbecue sauce for dipping.
